PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer - Tokenize a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

Top

 use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
 PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{foo}smx' )
     ->print();

INHERITANCE

Top

PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer is a PPIx::Regexp::Support.

PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer has no descendants.

DESCRIPTION

Top

This class provides tokenization of the regular expression.

METHODS

Top

This class provides the following public methods. Methods not documented here (or documented below under EXTERNAL TOKENIZERS) are private, and unsupported in the sense that the author reserves the right to change or remove them without notice.

new

 my $tokenizer = PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer->new( 'xyzzy' );

This static method instantiates the tokenizer. You must pass it the regular expression to be parsed, either as a string or as a PPI::Element of some sort. You can also pass optional name/value pairs of arguments. The option names are specified without a leading dash. Supported options are:

encoding name

This option specifies the encoding of the string to be tokenized. If specified, an Encode::decode is done on the string (or the content of the PPI class) before it is tokenized.

trace number

Specifying a positive value for this option causes a trace of the tokenization. This option is unsupported in the sense that the author reserves the right to alter it without notice.

If this option is unspecified, the value comes from environment variable PPIX_REGEXP_TOKENIZER_TRACE (see ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES). If this environment variable does not exist, the default is 0.

Undocumented options are unsupported.

The returned value is the instantiated tokenizer, or undef if instantiation failed. In the latter case a call to errstr will return the reason.

content

 print $tokenizer->content();

This method returns the string being tokenized. This will be the result of the PPI::Element->content() method if the object was instantiated with a PPI::Element.

encoding

This method returns the encoding of the data being parsed, if one was set when the class was instantiated; otherwise it simply returns undef.

errstr

 my $tokenizer = PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer->new( 'xyzzy' )
     or die PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer->errstr();

This static method returns an error description if tokenizer instantiation failed.

failures

 print $tokenizer->failures(), " tokenization failures\n";

This method returns the number of tokenization failures encountered. A tokenization failure is represented in the output token stream by a PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown.

modifier

 $tokenizer->modifier( 'x' )
     and print "Tokenizing an extended regular expression\n";

This method returns true if the given modifier character was found on the end of the regular expression, and false otherwise.

next_token

 my $token = $tokenizer->next_token();

This method returns the next token in the token stream, or nothing if there are no more tokens.

significant

This method exists simply for the convenience of PPIx::Regexp::Dumper. It always returns true.

tokens

 my @tokens = $tokenizer->tokens();

This method returns all remaining tokens in the token stream.

EXTERNAL TOKENIZERS

Top

This class does very little of its own tokenization. Instead the token classes contain external tokenization routines, whose name is '__PPIX_TOKENIZER__' concatenated with the current mode of the tokenizer ('regexp' for regular expressions, 'repl' for the replacement string).

These external tokenizers are called as static methods, and passed the PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer object and the current character in the character stream.

If the external tokenizer wants to make one or more tokens, it returns an array containing either length in characters for tokens of the tokenizer's own class, or the results of one or more make_token calls for tokens of an arbitrary class.

If the external tokenizer is not interested in the characters starting at the current position it simply returns.

The following methods are for the use of external tokenizers, and are not part of the public interface to this class.

capture

 if ( $tokenizer->find_regexp( qr{ \A ( foo ) }smx ) ) {
     foreach ( $tokenizer->capture() ) {
         print "$_\n";
     }
 }

This method returns all the contents of any capture buffers from the previous call to find_regexp. The first element of the array (i.e. element 0) corresponds to $1, and so on.

The captures are cleared by make_token, as well as by another call to find_regexp.

expect

 $tokenizer->expect( 'PPIx::Regexp::Token::Code' );

This method inserts a given class at the head of the token scan, for the next iteration only. More than one class can be specified. Class names can be abbreviated by removing the leading 'PPIx::Regexp::'.

The expectation lasts from the next time get_token is called until the next time make_token makes a significant token, or until the next expect call if that is done sooner.

find_regexp

 my $end = $tokenizer->find_regexp( qr{ \A \w+ }smx );
 my ( $begin, $end ) = $tokenizer->find_regexp(
     qr{ \A \w+ }smx );

This method finds the given regular expression in the content, starting at the current position. If called in scalar context, the offset from the current position to the end of the matched string is returned. If called in list context, the offsets to both the beginning and the end of the matched string are returned.

find_matching_delimiter

 my $offset = $tokenizer->find_matching_delimiter();

This method is used by tokenizers to find the delimiter matching the character at the current position in the content string. If the delimiter is an opening bracket of some sort, bracket nesting will be taken into account.

When searching for the matching delimiter, the back slash character is considered to escape the following character, so back-slashed delimiters will be ignored. No other quoting mechanisms are recognized, though, so delimiters inside quotes still count. This is actually the way Perl works, as

 $ perl -e 'qr<(?{ print "}" })>'

demonstrates.

This method returns the offset from the current position in the content string to the matching delimiter (which will always be positive), or undef if no match can be found.

get_token

 my $token = $tokenizer->make_token( 3 );
 my @tokens = $tokenizer->get_token();

This method returns the next token that can be made from the input stream. It is not part of the external interface, but is intended for the use of an external tokenizer which calls it after making and retaining its own token to look at the next token ( if any ) in the input stream.

If any external tokenizer calls get_token without first calling make_token, a fatal error occurs; this is better than the infinite recursion which would occur if the condition were not trapped.

An external tokenizer must return anything returned by get_token; otherwise tokens get lost.

interpolates

This method returns true if the top-level structure being tokenized interpolates; that is, if the delimiter is not a single quote.

make_token

 return $tokenizer->make_token( 3, 'PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown' );

This method is used by this class (and possibly by individual tokenizers) to manufacture a token. Its arguments are the number of characters to include in the token, and optionally the class of the token. If no class name is given, the caller's class is used. Class names may be shortened by removing the initial 'PPIx::Regexp::', which will be restored by this method.

The token will be manufactured from the given number of characters starting at the current cursor position, which will be adjusted.

If the given length would include characters past the end of the string being tokenized, the length is reduced appropriately. If this means a token with no characters, nothing is returned.

match

 if ( $tokenizer->find_regexp( qr{ \A \w+ }smx ) ) {
     print $tokenizer->match(), "\n";
 }

This method returns the string matched by the previous call to find_regexp.

The match is set to undef by make_token, as well as by another call to find_regexp.

modifier_duplicate

 $tokenizer->modifier_duplicate();

This method duplicates the modifiers on the top of the modifier stack, with the intent of creating a locally-scoped copy of the modifiers. This should only be called by an external tokenizer that is actually creating a modifier scope. In other words, only when creating a PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure token whose content is '('.

modifier_modify

 $tokenizer->modifier_modify( name => $value ... );

This method sets new values for the modifiers in the local scope. Only the modifiers whose names are actually passed have their values changed.

This method is intended to be called after manufacturing a PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier token, and passed the results of its modifiers method.

modifier_pop

 $tokenizer->modifier_pop();

This method removes the modifiers on the top of the modifier stack. This should only be called by an external tokenizer that is ending a modifier scope. In other words, only when creating a PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure token whose content is ')'.

Note that this method will never pop the last modifier item off the stack, to guard against unmatched right parentheses.

peek

 my $character = $tokenizer->peek();
 my $next_char = $tokenizer->peek( 1 );

This method returns the character at the given non-negative offset from the current position. If no offset is given, an offset of 0 is used.

If you ask for a negative offset or an offset off the end of the sting, undef is returned.

ppi_document

This method makes a PPI document out of the remainder of the string, and returns it.

prior

 $tokenizer->prior( 'can_be_quantified' )
    and print "The prior token can be quantified.\n";

This method calls the named method on the most-recently-instantiated significant token, and returns the result. Any arguments subsequent to the method name will be passed to the method.

Because this method is designed to be used within the tokenizing system, it will die horribly if the named method does not exist.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Top

A tokenizer trace can be requested by setting environment variable PPIX_REGEXP_TOKENIZER_TRACE to a numeric value other than 0. Use of this environment variable is unsupported in the same sense that the trace option of new is unsupported. Explicitly specifying the trace option to new overrides the environment variable.

The real reason this is documented is to give the user a way to troubleshoot funny output from the tokenizer.

    # Note 1: If we are in quote mode ( \Q ... \E ), Control makes a

    #		needs to come before almost all other tokenizers. Not
    #		Literal, which already makes literals, and not
    #		Interpolation, which is legal in quote mode, but
    #		everything else.

    # Note 2: CharClass::Simple must come after Literal, because it
    #		relies on Literal to recognize a Unicode named character
    #		( \N{something} ), so any \N that comes through to it
    #		must be the \N simple character class (which represents
    #		anything but a newline, and was introduced in Perl
    #		5.11.0.

    # Note 3: CharClass::POSIX has to come before Structure, since both
    #		look for square brackets, and CharClass::POSIX is the
    #		more particular.

    # Note 4: Operator relies on Literal making the characters literal
    #		if they appear in a context where they can not be
    #		operators, and Control making them literals if quoting,
    #		so it must come after both.
